What is the difference between B.Tech and BE?

B.E. stands for Bachelor of Engineering and B.Tech. stands for Bachelor of Technology. Both are undergraduate degrees conferred after completion of a three to four year program of engineering studies at a college or university level. There is no difference between these two degree courses BE and B-Tech. Both are engineering degrees and their scope and value are the same. You will never be rejected higher education or a job just because you are a BE and not a B-tech holder or vice versa. The only difference in the name is because in those colleges/universities that offer only engineering courses, the degree is known as B-tech and in those colleges/universities where other courses are also offered along with engineering, the title is given as BE. If you notice, there is no college/universities that provides both BE and B-Tech courses as both are the same. Same applies with ME and M-tech. Both are post graduate courses and a student with a B-tech degree is eligible to take up ME course or M-tech course and vice versa. B.Tech and BE have similar types of traits, and thus provide the same scope and future. I hope you are satisfied with the given explanation. Fell free to ask more. All the very best.

Hi, Let's start by busting some myths. 1. B.Tech and BE has nothing to do with the branch. Some people say particular branches offer B.Tech and others offer BE which is a myth. 2. Again B.Tech doesn't mean circuital branches as it has word tech in it. 3. B.Tech is offered by government colleges while BE is offered by private colleges. Biggest misconception one can have. So, what's the difference? In actual terms there is no difference between B.Tech and BE. Some of the sources say that BE is more theoretical and focuses on that part while B.Tech is more application based. In a way BE is more close to pure sciences and B.Tech is not. I would generally won't consider whether it is B.Tech or BE while choosing a degree. Just see if the institute is well reputed and go through the course outline, and you are good to go.

Bachelor in Engineering is a graduate level program done directly after a student's 10+2. After a student's 12th exam, the candidate has to appear for any state or national level engineering entrance through which he or she will get admittance into an engineering college. The course of this degree focuses on theoretical knowledge needed to innovate technology and make new technical gadgets.B.E. is considered a knowledge oriented course where more emphasis is given on the theoretical part of the curriculum. Bachelor in Technology is also a graduate level program done directly after a student's 10+2. After a student's 12th exam, the candidate has to appear for any state or national level engineering entrance through which he or she will get admittance into a college that provides technology course. There are many such universities. The course of this degree focuses on application and skill based study and is useful if one is interested in modifying structures to enhance their quality.B. Tech is skill oriented which gives more emphasis on practicals.Industrial visits and internships are necessary for B. Tech courses. Earlier the difference between B E and B Tech was quite evident in India. The universities that offered engineering degree along with other degrees gave the Bachelor of Engineering certificate. The institutes that only taught engineering gave B Tech degrees.

Hi, Research has shown that engineering remains the most sought after under graduate course in India (this was published by the National Council of Advanced Economic Research). The many institutes that offer under-graduate courses offer either B.E. (Bachelor of Engineering) or B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology). One of the most commonly asked question by engineering aspirants is the difference between the two degrees. Is it just a difference in the name/ nomenclature of the degrees or does the course curricula differ as well? B.Tech course is somewhat more practically intensive than the BE course which is more theoretical.The difference (which is quite minor) between the two degrees can be understood from their names itself, Engineering Vs. Technology. Engineering is a "science", dealing more with theoretical concepts & principles; technology deals more with the application of these theories for practical purposes. But, both B.E. & B.Tech courses offered by various engineering colleges/ institutes, have similar curriculum more or less. Both degrees are valued equally by prospective employers. What matters more is the reputation of the engineering college from where you obtain your B.E/ B.Tech degree. All the best.

There is very small difference between Bachelor of engineering (BE) and Bachelor of technology (B.Tech). But companies do not discriminate between BE students and B.Tech students during their selection process. Bachelor of engineering focus more on theory whereas Bachelor of technology focus more on practical skills. In Bachelor of engineering (BE), out of 100, 80% marks is for theory and 20% is for practical. While in B.Tech 60% theory and 20% practical. Some companies may prefer B.Tech students due to their practical skills but chances are rare. Top reputed colleges like Birla Institute of Technology And Science (BITs) Pilani, Rajasthan and Birla Institute Of Technology (BIT), Mesra provide Bachelor of engineering (BE) degree. Subjects and topics in all four years are similar in both. Application of both the engineering degrees are different but now days due to high competition both graduates have to do the same job. However, I will go with B.Tech as it is more popular and practical than BE. Practical skills matters a lot in for engineering career.
